A special meeting of this company was held at the offices, Newport, on Wednesday—Lord Tredegar in the chair. Mr Harrison, the secretary, read the notice convening the meeting for the purpose of confirming or otherwise a propo• sition to subscribe £20,000 to the proposed Alexandra Docks, to be constructed on the west side of the river. Mr C. BAILEY, M.P., moved a resolution to the cffeot that the SUM named be subscribed towards the new dock. He referred to the progress of other South Wales ports through possessing ample dock accommodation, and similar results would follow, in his opinion, the construction of new docks at Newport. Mr T. BROWN seconded the resolution. He held that in advocating dock extension he was not only advocating the interests of the Monmonthehire Company, but of the old Dock Company as well. Mr CARTWRIGHT maintained that the present docks would be found sufficient for the trade for years to come, and he adduced statistics showing that the old dock had been a very unprofitable investment to the shareholders. After some further discussion, Mr CARTWRIGHT suggested that the resolution should contain a condition as to protective clauses to the Mon mouthshire Company, which was agreed to by the mover and seconder. The resolution asamended was carried by a large majority. NORTH-EASTERN. The directors of this company have given notice of in tended application to Parliament for power to amalgamate the West Hartlepool Railway and Harbour Company and the Cleveland Railway Company with the North-Eastern Company on such terms and conditions as may have been or may be hereafter agreed upon. A provisional agreement for amalgamation has been en tered into between the directors of the North-Eastern and the director of the Hartlepool Company, subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies, to the effect that for the year ending July, 1865, the net earnings of the Hartlepool Company are to be divided among Class A and Class B and the ordinary stooks as provided by the act, 1863. The amalgamation is to commence or take effect on the Ist of July, 1865, and the North-Eastern Company, on obtaining Parliamentary sanction, are to substitute for the West Hartlepol classes A and B stocks a corresponding amount of North-Eastern preferential stock, carrying a per petual guaranteed dividend at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum, from the Ist of July, 1868, with intermediate gua ranteed dividends for the year commencing the Ist of July, 1865, at £3 ss—for the year commencing the Ist of July, 1866, at £3 103—and for the year commencing the Ist of July, 1867, at £3 15s per cent. per annum. Tho holders of ordinary stock are to be entitled to - guarantee dividends at like rates per cent,, calculated on £76 19s for each £lOO ordinary stock. The directors of the Hartlepool Company have unanimously recommended the adoption of an aural-. gamation on the terms provisionally agreed upon, BURY ST. EDMUND'S AND THETFORD. A line of railway to connect these towns has been pro jected, and it is intended to use portions of the Great Eastern Railway, and to make working arrangements with that company. MELLIS AND EYE. It is proposed to make a line from the Mellis station to the Great Eastern Railway to the town of Eye, Suffolk,and to enter into working arrangements with the Great Eastern. BURNHAM, ROCHFORD, AND SOUTHEND, It is proposed to construct a line of railway from Burn ham, through Rochford, to the Southend station of the London, Tiibur), and Southend Railway. Powers are to be applied for next session to enable the Great Eutern and the London, Tilbury, and Southend to subscribe towards the requisite capital. NEWQUAY AND CORNWALL JUNCTION. The first sociof this line, which will form a junction with the Cornwall Railway at the Burngallow station, and pass through the heart of the china clay and china stone district to a junction with the Newquay line at Hendra, was cut on Tuesday by Mrs Brydges Willyams, wife of the chairman of the company, A dinner was afterwards given at the Queen's Hotel, St, Austell, when upwards of 80 shareholders PUNJAB. It appears from recent advices that this railway was corn • plated from Mooltan to the 104th ; that a train bad run over that portion of the line on the Ist September; and that from the station near the 104th mile, towards Lahore, about half a mile of permanent way was being laid daily. During the previous five hot months, through the energy displayed by the platelayers and other persons employed in the prosecution of the works, six miles'of rails per month had been laid down. This called forth high encomiums from the Lieutenant-Governor, who desired it to be com municated to those connected with the works that the Go• vernment considers it due to all to express its high com mendation of their services. The Viceroy had intimated his intention of officially opening a large section of the line from Lahore towards Mooltan on the 19th of October, and it was expected that the whole of the railway, 252 miles in length, would be opened for traffic in the month of January next.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ---s- TATTERSALL'S-THURSDAY. The first of the long and dull Thursdays for the season may be said to have commenced this afternoon,as, owing to the rain and the continuance of the Shrewsbury meeting, only have a dozen subscribers were present ; and these being professionals not a bet was made, and tho smaller muster broke up early. SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING. THURSDAY, The Steeplechase day, the great holiday of the coun'ry people, was unfortunately wet, and of course interfered much with the attendance', which is generally large on this occasion. the first three events call for no particular notice. They were specimens of the usual racing one sees at Shrewsbury towards the close of the meeting, and, in deed, the less said about them the better. A match be. tween Hesper and Biondella over the throe furlong course, in which the former gave Mr Naylor's mare 161 b, was a mere gallop for Thellusson's new urchase, who will amply repay the price given for him. The Copeland Nursery, which last year was carried off by the splendid Irish colt Blarney, since unfortunately turned out a roarer, fell to that good animal Catalogue, who landed the Marquis of Hastings's successful colours without being extended,—a great performance for the top weight in heavy ground, The Jenkirstown Handicap was not carried ofr by the giver of the added money, Lady Hylda running very badly, and not up to her Bedford form. Tho Lady Evelyn filly won very cleverly. Owing to the tedious delay at the post in the race for tho Handicap Plate, during which Armadillo broke away and ran the entire course no less than lout times, the Eteeplo chase was ran at an hour which precludes all remark from us. It was a comparative failure, only four horses going for il, and Express, who made all the running, won in a canter. Mr Frail has most injudiciously determined to have a fifth day's racing to-morrow, for which we should imagine few will feel inclined to stop, This is draining the cup to the very dreg,.

Court of Common Council. A Court of Common Council was holden yesterday in the Council Chamber at Guildhall—the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presiding. THE LATE LORD MAYOR. Upon the motion of Mr Deputy HAWTREY, a resolution of thanks was unanimously passed to the late Lord Mayor, Mr Alderman Lawrence, for the services he had rendered the City in his capacity of Chief Magistrate during the past year, for his calm and impartial administration of justice, Tor the readiness with which he had presided at the unusual number of meetings of that Court which had been convened during his year of once, for his liberality and hospitality, and for the frank and courteous manner in which he had treated every member of the Court on all occasions ; which it was further resolved should be written on vellum and ornamented, and forwarded to the late Lord Mayor, and also that the resolution should be recorded in the minutes of the Court. Mr Deputy FRY brought up a report from the Improve ment Committee, on a reference to retoneider their report relative to the expenditure incurred by the Commissioners of Sewers during the years 1862 and 1863 in effecting cer tain street improvements, and recommending that a sum of £l,OOO be contributed in respect of the improvements in Bull and Mouth-street, Paternoster-row, and Upper Thames street. Mr Deputy Fry, in introducing the report, drew the attention of the Court to the large sums which had been expended in improvements in the City, and said he had thought it right, considering the peculiar position of the finances of the Corporation, to object to onlain grants being made which had been the subject of previous refe rences. It had been said that the Corporation had in years gone by contributed largely to street improvements, but he reminded the Court that at that time the Corporation had the 4d coal duty to fall back upon, whereas the whole of that du►y had been laid by for years to come for other ob • jects. Nevertheless he said the Corporation had of late years contributed more towards improvements of the kind referred to out of their income, minus the 4d coal duty than they had while they were in the receipt of it ; for from the years 1801 to 1845 they had paid for public improvements £12,820, whereas from 1545 to 1861 they had contributed no less a sum than £32,770. The report which ho brought up recommended that £l,OOO should be granted with re spect to certain improvements, and in moving the adoption of the report he did not ask them to agree to it, but he hoped the Court would consider well the step it was taking before granting the money. Mr BARLEY hoped that the recommendation of the com mittee would not be carried. He did not think for a moment that the financial state of the Corporation was at all despe rate. On the contrary, it was in a good condition, and they had only to husband their resources and be careful over the expenditure to remain in the same healthy condition as they were at the present time, and he moved that the contribu tion of the £l,OOO be not agreed to. Mr Deputy BONE seconded the amendment of Mr Law ley. He said the Corporation had plenty of money if it were used for legitimate purposes, but he did not think the expenditure of £l,OOO, as recommended by the committee, would be prudent. It was well known that the finances of the corporation were never in a better state, but if they were called upon to pay sums of £l,OOO for such purposes, there would be a deficiency where there would otherwise have been a balance. Although the Corporation had plenty of money, there were no funds at present available for street improvements. They were called on to pay a share in other improvements, and had to contribute one-tenth to every improvement that was carried out by another body, and he hoped the Court would not agree to the report as far as regarded the contribution of £l,OOO. Mr DE JERSEY hoped the Court would agree to the re port, and was surprised that any discussion whatever should have arisen upon a matter ofXl,OOO to be laid out on public improvements. The Court had granted much larger sums without a word of opposition, and it was only at the last Court that £17,000 was granted, in addition to what had been already spent, for the lunatic asylum, an undertaking which they were not compelled to enter into. The Court had by previous resolutions resolved to contribtate some thing towards the improvement mentioned in the report, and if they rejected the report they would be acting at va riance with those resolutions, which he was sure they would not think of doing. Mr MEDWIN opposed the adoption of the report. Mr Rudkin, Mr Saunders, and Mr Harris supported it. Finally, the report was agreed to, upon a division, by a large majority, and it was then referred to the Coal and Corn and Finance Committee, to consider and report from what fund the money was to be provided. Mr F• L, TA71,01% brought up a report from the Mar- A general order from the Horse Guards, eignod by Col. Glocester Gambier, CAI., Deputy. Adjutant- General Royal Artillery, has been promolgved by order of the Field-11 arshal Commanding in• Chief, in which it is announced that his Royal lliglonese, with the concurrence of the Right Hon. the S. cre tary of State for War, has given instructions for the name of Gen. Sir Robert William Gardiner, G CM., K.C.H., to be added to the names inscribed on the memorial pillar in the rotunda at Woolwich. His Royal Highness deems it unnecessary to recite to the Royal Artillery the special actions in which this distinguished officer acquired his own military reputation, and contributed, with many gallant comrades, to raise the fame of the British Artillery. He expresses his earnest desire that the long service and strenuous exertions of Sir William Gardiner for the benefit of his corps, and that the personal clue racter of this officer, conspicuous for its dignity and chivalry, should be permanently and publicly com memorated. A general order from the Horse Guards, signed by Lieut.-General the Hon. Sir James Yorke Scar lett, K.C.8., Adjutant-General, has been received and promulgated at Chatham, containing the rea vised code of rules and regulations for admission to the Staff College. Under the new rules ail applica tions to study at the Staff College must be made while the officer making it is present and serving with his regiment, through the commanding officer. No application from an officer on leave will be en tertained. Although only one officer can be spared from a battalion at a time for the purpose of study. ing at the college, this will not necessarily prevent a battalion sending more than one to compete at an examination if circumstances admit of their absence from their regiment. The principle under which officers are allowed to enter the Staff College being that of pure competition, it follows that candidates who may be found quaiified at any examination, but who from want of a sufficient number of vacan cies cannot then be admitted, will not have any claim to subsequent admission without undergoing another competitive examination. Lieut.. Col. G. H. Vesey has been appointed to the command of the Ist division of the Depot Bri gade Royal Artillery during the absence on leave of Lieut.. Col. W. H. hooks. Oa Wednesday evening the Duke of Somerset, K.G., accompanied by Admiral Charles Eden, C,8., and by Captain Hall, R.N., private secretary to his Grace, arrived at the Admiralty-house, Portsmouth dockyard, the residence of Admiral Sir M. Seymour, G.C.H., Port Admiral and Commander-iu-Claief, from London. Yesterday morning it blew a hard gale, with con tinuous rain, from the southward, but the Duke, ac companied by Admiral Eden and Capt. Hall, and by Sir Michael Seymour, Admiral Superintendent G. Elliot, Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., of the Royal Sovereign; Captain Astley Key, C. 8., of the gun. nery ship Excellent, Captain C. P. Coles, R.N., and other cfficers, embarked on board the Admiral's barge at the King's stairs of the dockyard, and pro. ceeded on board the Royal Sovereign, now lying in mid-stream in the upper part of Portsmouth harbour. The Duke was conducted over the ship, and all rsevired explanations were given by Csp ' eins Osborn and Coles. One of the turrets was entered, and the winches being manned it was made to revolve and the principle was fully ex plained. The importance was pointed out of being able by a partial revolving movement in 43 secs. to throw the port out of the sight of the enetnyond thus eiLctually close the port to an enemy's shot without the use of theobjtctionable port swing shut ters, which were found to be so liable to get j inland by shot on board the American Monitors. Tae gun carriages were then examined, and the reasons explained for believing in the superiority of the wrought-iron carriages, with which it is proposed to supersede the wooden ones at present in use for mounting 12-ton guns. The new leather collar now fitting round each turret at the deck line was also examined and explained. From the Royal Sovereign the Duke and officers accompanying him went on board the gunnery ship Excellent, where the two 12-ton guns, one rifled and the other smooth-bcee, were exhibited. Their peculiarities, in the guns themselves and their carriages, were ex plained and commented upon by Captain Astley Key, C.B. From the Excellent the Duke returned to the Admiralty House, and in the afternoon, ac companied by Admiral Eden and Captain Hall, he returned by the South-Western Railway to Lon don. = It may not be inopportune to refer in this brief notice of the visit of the Duke of Somerset to the 12-ton guns mounted in turrets on board the Royal Sovereign,and in broadside ports on board the Excellent, to the remarks made by General Todle tien during his recent visit to Portsmouth and the Royal Sovereign on the broadside and turret ports of ironclads. The General said that in measuring the port on the broadside of an ironclad it had be come the custom to give the outside measurement, whereas its true size must be measured on its inside —on the inner side of the inverted embrasure, which in fact it was, and which constituted its real weak ness. Thq General might also have added that the broadside ports of our ironclads have become so contracted that the gunners on board would bat seldom obtain a glimpse of the enemy—the glimpse could only be momentary, and the damage they would inflict upon them by the discharge of their guns would, therefore, most probably be very trifling The Victoria screw three-decker, 121 guns, 1,000- horse power, Captain James Goodenough, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday and anchored at Spithead, in readiness for her trial on Saturday, and her voyage to the Mediterranean, as flagship of the British Admiral in that station, in company with French, Italian, and Austrian iron-clad fleets. A series of important trials, with a view of test ing the relative merits of two ship's pumps, was yesterday commenced in Woolwich dockyard. The trials, more properly speaking, were to test the working powers of a newly•invented fire-engine and bilge pump, manufactured by Messrs. Morton and Wilson, of Stockton.on-Tees, in competition with the " Downton pump," manufactured by Messrs. J. Stone and Co., of Deptford, and used upwards of 40 years on board the ships of Her Majesty's ser vice with success. The experiments took place under the supervision of Commodore Dunlop, superintendent—Mr George Turner and Mr William Henwood, superintending shipbuilders of the yard —Commanderßiddlecombe, master-attendant—Mr. Gossage, from the department of the Storekeeper general of the Navy, the Hon. Robert Dundee, and other officials. 'they were carried out on board the old paddlewheel sloop Hecate. The two pumps were fixed within working distance of each other on the orlop deck, and were manned by eight men, wh o worked the two pumps in succession, each being fitted with suction-pipes leading to a tank on a raft under the ship's bows, and capable of containing about four tune, or 850 gallons of water. The first pump put to the test was the Wilson pump, which filled the tank in 11 minutes 46 seconds, making 501 revolutions. This was considered highly satis factory. At a given time the process of filling the tank through the medium of the Downton pump was commenced and completed in ten minutes 18 seconds, making 478 revolutions, thereby corrobora ting the opinion generally entertained of its efficiency and value. The respective firms were represented at the trial by their senior members. On the part of the Messrs Stone and Co. it was stated that their Downton pump used on the occasion was but little more thaniwo:tbirds the size or capacity of the Wilson pump, and that it laboured under the disadvantage of having sm. ion ,rge pipes, which, being new, resists fr_ of the water, and consequently occupied more time in filling than would ordinarily take place, in which case their victory would have been more complete; they therefore requested a second trial, with the aid of six men only. The permission was granted, and !he trial will most probably take place to day. The Ariel, 6, screw sloop, Commander Chapman, arrived at Spithead yesterday from foreign service, having sailed from the Cape of Good Hopson the Ist of September, from St. Helena on the 17th, A,cen -28;1), Sierra Leone on the 12th of October, and Fayal on the Geh inst.

At the first meeting of the Society of Antique• ries last evening, Earl Stanhope, the president, in the chair, Mr Tite, M.P., read an interesting paper, in the form of a letter addressed to Mr Frederick Ouvry, the treasurer of the society, descriptive of some recently discovered remains of the walls of Roman London. lie stated that in the year 1853 a beautiful tasselated pavement was found by him under Graham House, in Broad-street. This inte resting discovery had always led Mr Tite to believe that similar remains existed in the same neighbour hood, further strengthened by the fact that in Trinity.square, just adjoining, a portion of the ancient wall of London still existed above ground, which, though not Roman, was supposed to rest on Roman foundations. In 1841 the 131ackwall way, much further north than this point, cut through Roman remains of the great wall, but beyond that slight indication things remained in the same state until the autumn of this year. In August, 1861, certain very large works were under. taken in Cooper-row for the erection of immense warehouses to meet the increasing trade of London. These were entrusted to a London architect, Mr Clifton, a friend of Mr Tite, who in August of this year brought him a photograph of some curious remains discovered in executing these works. Mr rite visited the spot, and found a very extensive fragment of a Norman wall, with archer arrow slits and other defensive appliances. The fragment was 110 ft long, and in height from the bottom of the foundatioii to the top of tt,e parapet 41ft. All the foundations end a considerable portion of the low er wall were undoubtedly Roman, built of square stonee in regular courses, with bonding courses of Roman brick of intense hardt ess and excellent cement. Mr Tite stated that the cement was so herd that he could not procure a whole brick for exhibi tion, but had obtained one broken in half. This spe cimen seemed to be es hard as any red earthenware, and was, as was always the case with the Roman, more of what we should call a tile, being about a foot square, and 1! thick. '['he mortar between the bricks, unlike our modern system, was nerrly as thick as the bricks themselves, and abounding in portions of pounded brick. Mr Tite showed the exact place of these remains in an ancient plan of London in the reign of Elizabeth, when the walls and gates were in existence. He then pointed out a few other localities where undoubted Roman re mains of these walls were traceable—viz., Cam°, mile-street, the street still called London-wall, and near Moorgate. In referring to the history of Ro man London Mr Tite pointed out that there could have been ;no walls at the time whoa Suctonius abandoned it A.D. 61. He quoted some Norman historians, who referred the walls toe period as late as the Empress Helena, but his opinion seemed to be that they dated about the second century of our era. Of the distinctly Norman work above this level Mr Tite attributed that to the period when Archbishop Langton and William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, had failed in their first endeavours to prevail on King John to restore the ancient laws contained in the Great Charter; the associated Barons assumed their arms, and with their forces marched first to Northampton and thence to Bedford. They were favourably received there by William de Beauchamp, and there also came to them messengers from London, who privately advised them immediately to go thither. On this they advanced to Ware, and arrived at Aldgate after a night march on the 24th of May, 1215, the Sunday before Ascension Day. Finding the gates open, says Roger de Wendover, they en tered the city without any tumult, while the jobs. bitants were performing Divine service; for the rich citizens were favourable to the Barons, and the poor ones were afraid to complain of them. After this, the walls being in a ruinous state, they restored them, using the materials of the Jews' houses existing in the neighbourhood and then de. stroyed to build up the defences, which, as Fitz. stephen relates, were in a subsequent reign in a high state of excellence. Mr Tite pursued his his, tory of the wall of London through its various phases Mayor,of ci r t u iz in en, an a d nd r , e vival draperu n I t p h h e p x a o t s r o i e o i t y m n e L , ord in 1477, completely restored all the walls, gates, end a assisted by Sirb by John G to o wldesr miths' s, companies,wahnidchothweorrk he was Crosby, a member of the Grocers' Company. The gradual increase of the necessities of the citizens for more space and the Great Fire of 1666 completed the destruction of these once imp or t an t d e f ences, and but few remains now exist to show their ex. tent and value. Mr Tite stated that the total area enclosed by the walls which still constitutes the great City of London is only about 380 acres. The paper read by Mr Tite was illustrated by beautiful drawings of the remains by Mr Brass and Mr Tyer man, and was listened to with much attention. It gave rise to a conversation, in which Fellow of th e soc i ety, took a prominent l‘ ir part. Black , a - - SINGULAR CAPTURE OF A HARE AND A SKATE AT LITTLETIAMPTON.—A hare, which had doubt less been disturbed in the fields at the back, in attempting to cross the river, jumped from the quay on board the Uncle Tom, and---the hatches being off-fell into the hold in jured, and was easily taken. A cod of about 201 b was hooked by our fishermen on Friday, which had been just at hauling seized by the head by a very large skate. So firmly had the skate taken its hold on the head of the fish as for it to be easily taken with the cod.
